DS Body Fluid Odor

As you know, DS patients have been told that they will experience terrible smelling gas and bowel movements post-op. However, that's not what I want to address. What I've noticed is the overall odor of my body chemistry. Every single fluid that leaves my body has the same distinct, dusty smell about it. I can't describe it. It's kind of like dirty sand. My urine and everything else that's fluid that leaves my body has this odor. I'm wondering if my saliva also has this smell. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm 11 weeks post-op and honestly I can't stand this smell. Will this go away after I'm in maintenance? I've asked my family (specifically my husband) if they've noticed it, and they said they haven't.

    I've noticed my sweat/body odor changed so much that I had to start using a men's deodorant because the women's wasn't working anymore

    Okay, I didn't know how to mention that, but I'm experiencing that too.

Eat parsely, my aunt Besse who told me, she was a LPN, said it was the natural chlorophyll that did it. Besides I always did like parsely in or one my bowl of buttered potatoes.
